Top Turkish Delights

When it comes to holiday diversity, few places can rival the
beauty and versatility of Turkey. Offering a distinctive east-meets-west
culture, where modern hotels and beach resorts rub shoulders with ancient ruins
and long-held local customs, Turkey holidays
really are a treat for the senses. If you're looking for a sun-soaked escape
this summer which is a bit different to your average bucket-and-space beach
break, check out these tempting Turkish delights...

BODRUM

Boasting an ancient castle that dates back to the days of
the Crusades, a fascinating marine museum featuring centuries-old treasures discovered
on the seabed, and a vibrant town with glorious harbour views, Bodrum is hot
stuff. Bring the kids for a dose of culture, or wander among the markets
haggling for souvenirs before kicking back in a traditional Turkish restaurant,
reliving another perfect day and sampling tastebud-tingling local cuisine.
Heaven!

SIDE

Based in the region of Antalya, Side is a cracking little
place that's famous for its spectacular Roman ruins. Step back in time and
experience its 5th century baths, wander around the fascinating museum, gaze up
at the remains of pillared temples, or discover its ancient theatre. The town
itself is a former fishing village that oozes charm with plenty of great hotels
and apartments.

OLU DENIZ

Turkey holidays in Olu Deniz are all about the beach. Long
ribbons of empty golden sands blend with vibrant activity-packed shorelines.
The beautiful and aptly-named Blue Lagoon is a fantastic spot that regularly
graces postcards and photo albums, while Olu Deniz itself is an upmarket place
with a gorgeous seafront that comes alive at night with bars and live music.Find out more about
